Looping Thunder Retired at Oaks Park

Looping Thunder looped and thundered one last time at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon, on September 25, 2017. Since 1996, the coaster thrilled visitors of all ages. Spring of 2018 will bring a new, much more extreme roller coaster.

The new coaster, a Euro-Fighter model from Gerstlauer Amusement Rides GmbH, will have more inversions and a lower height limit for riders.
